Religious Liberty Newspaper Clippings

Our brethren in charge of the Religious Liberty Bureau, with headquarters at Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C.,—Elders K. C. Russell and W. A. Colcord,—are glad to get newspapers and newspaper clippings containing articles and items bearing upon all phases of the question of religious liberty, especially those relating to Sunday enforcement and religion in the public schools. Where whole newspapers are sent, they request those sending them to kindly mark the article or item to be noticed; and in case of clippings, that those sending them please be sure to indicate, either on the clippings themselves or in the letters accompanying them, both the name and date of the paper from which they are taken. These are important items which are frequently overlooked by many.

The Collection for the Colored Work

By Editor

WE trust the article by Elder G. I. Butler on the collection for the colored work in the South, printed in this issue (page 16), will be given a careful reading, as the importance of this subject demands.

The Work in Washington

By Editor

AN interesting report of the work which has been carried forward in Washington by Elder L. C. Sheafe will be found on page 15. Brother Sheafe has stated the facts in connection with the purchase of the church property, and it seems to us that they constitute an appeal for assistance. We invite those who are able to help a good work to consider the needs of this effort in behalf of the truth.

Emmanuel Missionary College

The following extract is taken from the last annual calendar of Emmanuel Missionary College, Berrien Springs, Mich.: “Biblical principles underlie the work of all the departments, and all the courses are presented with the thought uppermost in mind of the best and most rapid preparation of the young for positions of trust and responsibility in connection with the great work of God in the earth.” The calendar contains a statement of principles as well as the necessary information, and can be obtained on application.

Bethel Industrial Academy

A SPECIAL feature of the Bethel Industrial Academy, Bethel, Wis., is that the school year begins in the spring. The reason for this change is given by the management: “This enables us to have our three terms of consecutive work coincide with the agricultural season, and it adds greatly to the interest and pleasure of nearly all our branches of study and labor. In this season the great book of nature is opening to us some of its most interesting and inspiring pages.” The second term at the academy covers the period from June 28 to September 26.

The Sabbath Question in India

We learn by letter from Brother W. W. Miller, of the India Mission, that the publication of "Appeal to Clergy" in the Oriental Watchman, reference to which was made in the REVIEW of June 29, has created something of a stir in several places in India, and that the Sabbath question is being vigorously agitated as a consequence. Brother Miller says: “Opposition awakens an interest, so let it come in India as well as anywhere else.” It is evident that the Sabbath question is coming to the front all over the world, and that the truth concerning this matter must be made known. This is a most favorable time to work before the doors now open are closed.

The Fund for the South

By J. S. WASHBURN

As stated in last week's REVIEW, a fund has been opened for the work in the South. This list is not large, but it is encouraging to know that there are so many who have shown that their hearts are with the brethren who are struggling with great difficulties to push forward the glorious message of truth in the Southern field. Those who have not been in the South can hardly appreciate the situation. It is perfectly clear to my mind, and has been from the beginning, that the move to Washington was preliminary to a great work to be done in the South. Washington, while belonging to the whole country, is pre-eminently a Southern city. Just across the river is the old home of General Robert E. Lee. Richmond, the capital of the Southern Confederacy, is but a few miles from Washington. Southern problems and difficulties are much better understood by those living in Washington than by those living in Northern cities.

Now the Lord has, through his servant, indicated that the time has come for financial help to be sent to the South. The Nashville church has already been purchased, and cash paid in full for the same, but the general work and many special interests call for immediate assistance. We have received some of the most regular and constant contributions for the Washington fund, costing the givers great sacrifice, from brethren and sisters in the South. It is high time now that they shall reap what they have sown. They obeyed the voice of God and sent means which was needed in the South to build up the work in Washington. Truly now every one of our brethren and sisters will rejoice to return with interest these gifts which have represented real sacrifice and self-denial. Surely there are those who will at once send in large donations for the Southern work. The work of the message can not close until a great work is done in the South. What will your answer be?

Washington Training College

By J. W. LAWHEAD

Who Should Attend?

MANY letters of inquiry are being received, and the questions asked are such as to indicate the need of a statement relative to the plans of the managers and the scope of work to be undertaken by the college.

The purpose of the founders is to train men and women for gospel work in the proclamation of the message which has called this denomination into being; and, therefore, all its work has been or will be adapted to the needs and capabilities of young men and women of eighteen years and upward, no younger students being received unless by special arrangement with the faculty. By this means it is hoped to have a goodly company in training, many of whom may speedily answer the urgent and sometimes pitiful calls for help from those who are now sitting in darkness, but earnestly pleading for light.

That this training may be thorough and of a practical nature, just suited to the need of a young worker, the College has asked for help from some of the denominational leaders, and has received the assurance that Elders Daniels, Prescott, and Spicer, and others of our leading brethren, will conduct studies during the coming year, giving advantages never surpassed, if ever equaled, by any school of the denomination. The plans for the year's work are sufficiently broad and comprehensive to provide for the needs of every department of denominational activity, so as to benefit equally the young minister, Bible worker, canvasser, medical missionary, or teacher. Actual practise work will be offered in whatever department one may be preparing for, and this practical side of the student's education will be under the most careful supervision from start to finish; for, while learning by doing is unquestionably the best way of learning, yet this method places an additional responsibility upon the management. It follows from the foregoing facts that the young worker who feels a need for further preparation, is the one who ought to come, and whose coming would be a means of great benefit to himself and to the labor he will render in coming years; and while careful and painstaking study will be bestowed upon the training of those who expect to go into the field at an early date, just as earnest and faithful service will be given every other student, that all may be benefited and the cause of truth advanced.

Some slight inconvenience may be experienced in handling the classes because the main college building is not yet erected; but the Homes are finished, are thoroughly equipped, and in shape to make every student comfortable. In fact, the plan in building this school has been to provide a home first of all, that the comfort, health, and well-being of every individual member might be carefully safeguarded; and the dormitories and dining-hall are all comfortably furnished, steam heated, lighted by gas, and supplied with an abundance of hot and cold water.

The coming term will open on Wednesday, September 20, at which time all who are planning to attend should aim to be present. J. W. LAWHEAD.
